Germany has become a society of singles, solo parents and of people
who
live in relationships, but with separated households. Even food
industry
makes huge profit by selling convenience foods for singles. Here you
can
buy 3 packed salami slices. Perhaps we have more single persons who
own
several computers, than several people sharing one computer. It
seems to
differ from nation to nation. Some are "single nations" others are
"family nations". I don't know statistics, but IIRC in Germany we've
got
more smart phones, than citizens. I've got the impression that most
people in Germany have a smart phone, tablet PC, netbook or laptop
and
they don't share it with somebody else. Sharing a laptop sometimes
happens, sharing smart phones, tablet PCs and netbooks not that
often.
Desktop PCs are often used for a special purpose, e.g. for gaming
and I
know people who play games with other people, but even if they sit
in
the same room, they don't use one computer, but connect their
computers
instead ... ok, then it becomes a multi-user-network, however, I
suspect
that here most "single-user" systems do _not_ have 2 people. Even in
Europe it's likely different for meridional nations.

Ralf,
I've seen you give similar arguments before. Let me give you a hint
here. Most of the people in the world don't care about what Germans
do in their own homes. Germany isn't the world; in fact, it isn't
even in the top 10 population wise. Your comments about what they do
is completely immaterial.
That's not to say I don't appreciate *MOST* Germans; I've visited
there three times and enjoyed every visit immensely.

I think that the point in his message was to show that it is not
because the usage in your, or mine, or his, country is something that
this use is the usage of the majority.
Of course, I may be wrong.
